Travis's Ben and Zack series follows the lives of a Quaker pastor's child, Ben, and his black friend, Zack, at the beginning of the Civil War.

The Union Army Black follows Zack's adventures as he sees first-hand the treatment of black soldiers and the horrors of war.
Tirzah is a junior historical fiction rendering of the Hebrew exodus from Egypt. There are some typos, which is slightly frustrating for me, and the quality of writing is not exceptional.
